This is due to the point that Cheap and good, rarely meet.

And GOOD steel, well put together.. costs MONEY.

I suspect a web visit to audiogon, for a set of used stands, from someone nearby..is the order of the day.

Nice sense of entitlement there. People on this forum generously provide answers to a wide range of questions. They are not paid to answer, and you are not entitled to an answer.

You were asked a question (twice now) in this thread, and you have yet to answer. In case you didn't get it the first two times: Is there a reason you cannot use a regular stand, e.g., a steel one?
